The Norwegian Translators' Association (NO) was founded on 1 November 1948 and has approx. 350 members who translate from about 50 languages into Norwegian, including 55 members who translate from German. The association's aims include bringing Norwegian literary translators together, improving the quality of Norwegian translations, and promoting an understanding of the social importance of translation. The impact that German-language literature and culture has had and continues to have on the Norwegian language and culture is highlighted in several articles in Norsk Oversetterleksikon (oversetterleksikon.no).
